A giant blue rooster is unveiled in central London's Trafalgar Square, Thursday, July 25, 2013. A giant blue rooster was unveiled Thursday next to the somber military monuments in London's Trafalgar Square. German artist Katharina Fritsch’s 15-foot (4.7 meter) ultramarine bird, titled "Hahn/Cock," is intended as a playful counterpoint to the statues of martial heroes in the square. It is the latest in a series of artworks to adorn the vacant "Fourth Plinth" in the square that is home to Nelson's Column. (AP Photo/Andy Rain, Pool)
